yeah guys i know.....look it up in the archives first. but I did try to look. I know it's there but I couldn't find the topic of what is a van.... so here goes....the shinerunner is getting too small for my business; too small to tow the trailer that i would need to haul equuipment around. So I've been looking around at stepvans aka breadvans. are these vans? i've been looking at a late 70's chevy chassis

However, uncomfortable as heck, and hard on gas to go to any runs far from home on any highway...

Maybe keep the vanner's van for runs...

I know I have read on flyers in the past and they have said "vans only, No step vans" I do not remember what flyers or when, but I know they are in kind of a grey area. I hope one of the Nat's reps gets in here and clears it up. I know nowdays nobody wants to turn anyone away and probably would not anyway espcially if they were a vanner that we know. But at a Major event like the Nat's there are rules to follow.

I just heard from Wackovanner on the subject and Yes , step vans are allowed into the National Truck-in. they do allow clubs to make their own decisions on the subject. But like I said ... anymore nobody wants to turn anyone away.

The stepvan model aren't that bad when it comes to building living quarters inside it. It wouldn't give off any sign of anyone living inside.

I've seen a couple of them done that way and didn't look like any RV around there.

This list does not specify every van in the US market, but you get the idea. We will revisit this in Wisconsin, and probably add the list of import vans for clarification.

what is a van is posted on the Nats Board site, on the right side under freq asked questions.

This is for the Nationals only. what individual clubs allow is up to them.
